Would you feel comfortable driving a car with no signal lights?

it brings up a lot of intersting scenarios.

on one hand pretty much all north american places have laws that protect workers in the event of them being asked to perform unsafe work.

ie you have the right to refuse unsafe work (as you did) which was the right thing to do. driving a car with two broken signal lights is VERY unsafe.

most laws say you cannot be punished or repremanded for this.

on the other hand, if you drove it anyway (if they told you they would fire you etc if you didn't) and were injured in an accident and the lack of signals was determined to be a factor, the company would easily be held liable. a lawyer would have no problem with that one..

you did the right thing though.

companies that have little regard for worker safety are scary and dangerous. sad in this day and age...

your boss should be made aware of his mistake and steps should be taken to ensure that no other staff member is put in this position..

that's how u get a ticket or into an accident, i HATE people who just cut in without signaling, im glad you made the choice not to be that douche bag

i would use it, crash it, then blame him

If I was told to for work yeah absolutely. I am that hard headed . I would offer to fix it though perhaps after work. I would be extra cautious and use hand signals however and if it was gonna be driven all day I would make sure to do my best to fix it ASAP

I have to make sure I have working turn signals as a CDL driver, but even if I wasn't, one of my pet peeves is people that don't use turn signals, so I would feel like a hypocrite and thus would refuse

One of my pet peeves used to be people who drive and don't signal, but........

NO ONE SIGNALS IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!!!
